ICL is an implantable corrective lens designed for correction of moderate to high nearsightedness (myopia) or far sightedness (hyperopia). The lens is inserted in the eye by a Certified Ophthalmologist through a small incision on the cornea
( the front clear surface of the eye)
The lens is positioned between the iris and the natural lens of the eye where it stays indefinitely. The procedure only takes about 10 minutes per eye.
The ICL is made of Collamer, an advanced lens material, the only lens material made with collagen. highly biocompatible and the best choice for a lens that is going to remain inside your body for a lifetime.

Collamer transmit light and reduces reflections that can interfere with vision, so you can see clearly.
You cannot see the ICL in your eye and neither can anybody else. Since the ICL does not alter any structures within the eye or on the cornea, it can be removed from the eye by a simple surgical procedure.
This procedure is about twice the cost of LASIK vision correction surgery, but is often the only option for people who don't qualify for LASIK or other procedures.
According to studies the results of ICL often surpass those of LASIK. ICL not only increases visual acuity (20/20 vision or better), but it also provides patients with high definition eyesight in which objects appear sharper.
